Super Junior’s Leeteuk is clearing the air about the recent controversy over reusing outfits at SM Entertainment’s 30th Anniversary concert!

On January 12, during a live broadcast, Leeteuk addressed concerns regarding the reuse of costumes at the SMTOWN LIVE 2025 [THE CULTURE, THE FUTURE] in SEOUL concert, which took place earlier in January.

Leeteuk revealed, “A few years ago, people were talking about us reusing outfits, but there’s a reason for it. This time, the stylists told us the concert budget is tight. Most of the funds go into our activities, so we end up covering some of the costs ourselves. That’s why we wore clothes we had worn before. It’s not a big deal.”

He continued, “Creating new outfits costs a lot of money. Some of the clothes are sponsored, and some are custom-made, but they aren’t cheap. The fabric has to be specially cut and sewn for us. I’m talking about this because I don’t want fans to misunderstand. The stylists work hard, but fans may think we’re not doing our best or just recycling old outfits.”

Leeteuk also said, “Stylists can’t always explain these things, so I want to step in and clarify. If I don’t, the blame falls on them. Making new outfits means taking money away from the concert budget or our activity funds. When we only wear them once, it feels like a waste, which is why we sometimes wear the same outfits for other events.”

He added, “We don’t wear the same outfit every day. If we were reusing them too much, we would notice and change things. There’s always a reason behind it.”

The SMTOWN LIVE 2025 [THE CULTURE, THE FUTURE] concert, held on January 11 and 12 at the Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul, featured artists and trainees from SM Entertainment, including Kangta, BoA, TVXQ, Super Junior, Girls’ Generation’s Hyoyeon, SHINee’s Key and Minho, EXO’s Suho and Chanyeol, Red Velvet, NCT 127, NCT DREAM, WayV, aespa, and more.

Song Hye Kyo has wowed fans once again with her flawless beauty and exceptional acting!

On April 1, MBC’s Son Suk Hee’s Questions featured two of Korea’s top screenwriters, Kim Eun Sook and Kim Eun Hee, as they discussed their famous dramas.

Kim Eun Sook mentioned hits like Lovers in Paris, Goblin, and The Glory, while Kim Eun Hee brought up Sign, Signal, and Kingdom.

However, the spotlight quickly turned to The Glory, as Kim Eun Sook shared how a particular scene left her in awe. She said, “I wasn’t sure if the actor could pull it off, but when I saw Song Hye Kyo’s acting, I got chills. I realized she could bring that level of intensity, and I gave her high praise.”

She couldn’t stop complimenting Song Hye Kyo’s portrayal of Moon Dong Eun, calling it absolutely brilliant.

Song Hye Kyo herself shared her thoughts on that unforgettable scene, recalling, “That scene was filmed in the middle of the shoot. By that time, I was completely immersed in Dong Eun. I acted purely based on what I felt on set, and I just followed the emotions from the script and the atmosphere.”

She added, “A few days later, writer Kim Eun Sook called me, and I was worried she didn’t like something. But instead, she told me she loved that scene and thanked me. That made me so happy,” she said with a smile.

Lim Ji Yeon, who played Park Yeon Jin, Moon Dong Eun’s rival in The Glory, also praised the scene, saying, “I thought that was the highlight of the drama. The writer has a way of making everything feel real, even in the most serious moments.”

But it wasn’t just the acting that had fans talking. Song Hye Kyo’s appearance in the video had viewers in awe. She had cut her hair even shorter than her character in The Glory, and fans couldn’t help but notice how youthful and glowing she looked. Many pointed out how much younger she appeared, even compared to her Encounter days seven years ago!

Fans flooded social media, expressing how both her beauty and her acting were on another level. With praise pouring in for her stunning transformation, Song Hye Kyo is proving she only gets better with time!
